Lost file MSCOMCT2.OCX in Access 2003 FileDialogPicker

[Clare1234]

We have upgraded from Access 2002 to Access 2003 and our Access Database is showing an error message saying this file is missing. On checking the References File, it shows Microsoft Common Codes File is missing form the Microsoft Library.
To save having to buy this file I have rewritten a lot of the code to work without it. However I cannot get the msoFilePicker to work. I get an error message saying Cannot Find Project or Library.
Is there any other way of finding a file in WORD from the ACCESS database and opening it. I don't need to use any of the data in the WORD document, I just need to be able to read it.

Thank you.

I noticed once when I upgraded from 97 to 2000 some dlls were just placed in a different directorys. Sorry if this sound a little novice but did you get the file name and search to see if it just needs to be pointed to the new location.

I can't be of much help since we are still on 2000 and will be jumping right to 2010 later this year.

Thanks Prley,
No sign of it in other directories.

Take a look in the \windows\system\ or \windows\system32\ folders.

These are usually in hidden folders so I think files in them might not show up on a general search.

This is an old thread of mine on the topic.

my suggestion is run like hell from this control. I ended up removing it totally after it did not work properly.

Generally you might find that people will advice not to use these kinds of controls due to exactly your problem.
